Ingredients

Ingredient Amount
Corned beef, sliced 8 ounces
Sauerkraut, drained 1 cup
Cream cheese, softened 4 ounces
Mustard (Dijon or yellow) 2 tablespoons
Low-carb wraps 4 large
Shredded Swiss cheese 1 cup
Cooking spray or olive oil As needed

Note: Look for low-carb wraps in the refrigerated section of your grocery store or the international aisle. For a dairy-free option, consider using a tofu-based cream cheese substitute.

Steps / Instructions

Step Instructions
1 Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking.
2 In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese and mustard together until smooth and well-combined. This will create the rich base for your filling.
3 Lay out one low-carb wrap on a clean surface. Spread about 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the wrap.
4 Add 2 ounces of sliced corned beef on top of the cream cheese layer, followed by 1/4 cup of drained sauerkraut and 1/4 cup of shredded Swiss cheese.
5 Carefully roll the wrap tightly, starting from one end to the other, ensuring all filling is enclosed. Repeat this process with the remaining wraps.
6 Lightly coat a baking tray with cooking spray or olive oil. Place the roll-ups seam-side down on the tray. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the wraps are crispy and golden brown.
7 Remove from the oven and let the roll-ups cool for a few minutes before slicing into bite-sized pieces. Serve warm with extra mustard for dipping.

Troubleshooting / Pro Tips

  • If the wraps are tearing while rolling, try warming them slightly in the microwave for 10-15 seconds; this makes them more pliable.
  • Ensure the sauerkraut is well-drained to avoid soggy roll-ups.
  • For extra flavor, consider adding spices like garlic powder or onion powder to the cream cheese mixture.
  • Experiment with different cheeses if you want to switch up the flavor profile; pepper jack can add a nice kick!

FAQ

Can I make these roll-ups ahead of time?
Yes! You can assemble the roll-ups and store them in the fridge for up to 24 hours before baking. Just make sure to cover them tightly to prevent drying out.

Can these roll-ups be frozen?
Absolutely! Freeze unbaked roll-ups in an airtight container. When ready to eat, bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.

What can I use instead of corned beef?
If you prefer, you can use pastrami or turkey for a different twist on the flavor while keeping it low-carb.

How do I ensure my roll-ups are crispy?
Make sure to bake them until they are golden brown and crisp. Don’t rush the baking time, as this is crucial for achieving that perfect crunch.

What can I serve with these roll-ups?
These roll-ups are perfect as a standalone snack or appetizer, but they also pair wonderfully with a side salad or a bowl of homemade soup, such as Slow Cooker Tuscan White Bean Soup.
